Naturally, this was to damage her image in Li Pei's eyes.
Lin Qixia's laughter grew even more sarcastic; this female lead was truly more low-class than she had imagined.
"Auntie! Auntie's back!"
Lin Qixia had just entered the courtyard when Lin Yi's voice rang out.
Perhaps because she's been eating better lately, my little niece is no longer malnourished. She's like a joyful little bird, hopping around and chirping energetically, reminding everyone in the house.
Lin Qixia put the deer down and rubbed her shoulders, which were a little sore and numb from being pressed down.
"Is Xia'er back?" He Zhilan came out of the house after hearing the commotion in the courtyard.
When she saw the deer at Lin Qixia's feet, her expression turned to joy.
"Is this a deer? Xia'er is getting more and more amazing." She walked over and praised Lin Qixia.
Lin Qixia was a little embarrassed by the praise, "I was lucky today, I just happened to run into a deer."
It took some effort to bring it back.
"We're having venison tonight!" My little niece, Lin Yi, cheered along.
Lin Qixia said to He Zhilan, who had come over to examine the deer, "I'd like to trouble you to handle this for me, sister-in-law."
"Of course, Xia'er, you've had a long day, so you should rest now." He Zhilan happily agreed and went to sharpen her knife to prepare to butcher the venison.
There's too much meat to eat in one go; it needs to be properly dried.
This is the perfect time of year to make smoked meat.
Seeing He Zhilan praising Lin Qixia for bringing back the deer, even while she was working nearby, I noticed that He Zhilan kept praising her.
Lin Jiudong sat under the tree, and scoffed somewhat bitterly, "Ha! What's so great about them! They still rely on men..."
She was wary of Lin Qixia and had already lowered her voice.
However, the next second, Lin Qixia still looked at her and asked, "Who do you think I can rely on?"
"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't think I've forgotten what happened before!" Lin Jiudong was a little nervous for a moment, but still forced himself to speak.
After all, she wasn't blind; she saw it with her own eyes.
Lin Qixia narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw her expression.
"Have you been dealing with Xue Yuchan recently?" She was clearly connecting the incident at the village entrance earlier that day to her suspicions about Lin Jiudong.
"No way!" Lin Jiudong frowned.
That vile Xue Yuchan is close to Gu Ciyu, and who knows what ideas she's giving Gu Ciyu to seduce Brother Li Pei.
How could I possibly have any dealings with her?
She thought for a moment, then mocked Lin Qixia, "But you, you've suddenly become so good at hunting so many prey lately, pheasants and deer, I don't believe you didn't find some wild man to help you!"
Lin Qixia's eyes darted around as she listened to her words.
It was roughly determined that Lin Jiudong only said that because he had seen Huo Yanqing before.
However, this experience wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Because everyone has accepted that they have become capable.
"Hey! Say something! There's no one else here right now, Lin Qixia, just admit it!"
Lin Jiudong's voice once again caught Lin Qixia's attention.
"Admit what?" Lin Qixia raised her eyes, smiled at Lin Jiudong, and took the initiative to say, "I told you that I hunted all the prey myself. If you don't believe me, I can take you up the mountain with me."
"What?"
Lin Jiudong was taken aback, not expecting Lin Qixia to be so generous to her.
However, she quickly and warily refused, "Pah! Who would want to go up the mountain with you?"
If the other party lures her to a secluded place and harms her, she won't be able to resist!
"Whatever you want." Lin Qixia shrugged and turned to leave.
To be honest, she genuinely wanted to teach Lin Jiudong hunting skills, since she couldn't do this forever, and she wasn't entirely satisfied with the ratio of input to output.
She needs to teach others so she can find time to study other things.
Since Lin Jiudong is unwilling, she will not force him.
Lin Qixia gave up and went to help He Zhilan process the venison.
After all, she still needs to sell deer blood and antlers, so she has to keep an eye on things and make sure her sister-in-law doesn't ruin them.
In an instant, Lin Jiudong was the only one left in this place.
Lin Jiudong suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned around and looked back, but saw nothing. Behind him were only the houses on the west side and a few trees outside the courtyard.
There was nothing else.
"This is really strange," Lin Jiudong muttered, feeling that it was not a good place to stay any longer, and left.
At this moment, Huo Yanqing, dressed in black, was standing in the corner of the room.
He crossed his arms and exuded a cold and sinister aura.
This was completely different from the harmless demeanor he displayed when facing Lin Qixia.
Especially at this moment, the boy's cold eyes were extremely sinister, staring at Lin Jiudong's departing figure with murderous intent.
"Sister-in-law, I'll put this away after I've finished draining the deer blood," Lin Qixia said to He Zhilan, carrying the bucket after He Zhilan finished draining the blood.
He Zhilan responded, "Go ahead, and take the deer antlers and velvet as well. You were going to sell them in town, right? Take them all."
"Okay."
Lin Qixia agreed and left with the wooden bucket.
Back in the room, I put all those items into the spatial trading system.
[Transaction complete, account balance 535 gold coins!]
Lin Qixia was satisfied and withdrew from the space. But when she looked up, she saw a figure in black outside the window.
Lin Qixia, who was about to leave, paused for a moment, then walked to the window, leaned over the windowsill to look at him: "Hey, don't you get bored hiding here every day?"
She thought this guy would at least have his own things to do, like investigating her past or finding out the truth about why he was being hunted down.
